Show us your Diamond Backs!!!

I’ve always wanted a titanium bike and a bike with pink on it. I have a TT pro……and now this beauty (1993 ascent EX) turned up 10 minutes from my door.

When I say beauty, I mean it will be a beauty!
Needs new decals (anyone know where to get a set from?), seat (biggest seat I’ve ever seen), t-bone stem and a very good clean/touch up! The removal of a kick stand and dork disc will also happen.

Very nice find so close by, but it's actually a 1991 model. Built one up for my wife years ago & turned out pretty mint. If you cannot source new decals, Testors model paint works wonders for touch ups - did that for my decals & turned out great, especially finding neon pink to re-do the pink highlights

My new build Diamondback Axis 1993 TT Lite - such a light weight bike for steel, full bike weighing in as 11.9 kg.. you dont see many in this frame colour.

Very fun looking build, I like the street fighter attitude

LOoks great! Looking to do a similar build as this one.

Working on building the Sorrento into a BMX style cruiser. This is a lazy day project.

I have a pair of tan wall tires on order for the blue Ukai rims. Current bars are motorcycle MX and are only 7/8"
Going to remove the threaded rear multi speed cluster and replace with a single speed freewheel.
I figure it's cheaper to buy a BMX bike and use the bars, stem, pedals, and maybe seat.
Looking for a cheap square taper 1x chainring to replace the rivited STX triple.
